She Was a Daisy.

He had been telling me in confidence
how badly he was smitten. She was a
pretty little blonde splnster, and she
had caught him.
"She's a beauty, isn't she?" he said
as he pointed her out to me one day.
YES. She's rather good looking. -
Rather good lookingI She's the
prettlest woman in San Francisco, and
she's all mine.''
''IIave you asked her?"
"Oh, no. I've never spoken to her. {"
"HOw do you know?"
-''Oh, By looks and glances and lots
OF things. She Is so demure to every
body else, and so quiet; never looks at
anybody but me-"
"Oh.n
mo. I've watched her closely, and
| feel she loves me-"
This was some weeks ago, The other
day we were walking up Kearney street
together and the pretty blonde spinster
came along.
There she is. Isn't she beauty?
Watch her bow to me. :"
As she neared US kind OF confused
look passed across her face. The street
was crowded, and We naturally imputed
1t to the self-consciousness of unex-
pected and secret alteration. She
raised her eyes, swept them gently
around the crowd, and as they met his
she bowed. Instantly three men in
front, four men behind, and probably
two or three more farther up. raised
their hats. The eight men glared at
one another, and it was evidently be.
lieved he was the so,e object or her
affections.
Yes l said" she's daisy"
But he did not answer me.

Origin of Tavern Signs.

What is the origin of signs? Tht
earliest signs are certainly heraldic.
We have still IN many villages the Sc
and SO Arms, with the shield of the
lord OF the manor emblazoned upon 1t
with all the quarterIngs. Or we have
the Eei Lion, or the White Hart, OF
the Swan; all either crests or cogni-
zanceS of a family, or of a sovereign OF
queen. The Swan sign is said TO date
from Anne of Cleyes; the White Hart
was the badge of Richard IL, and inns
with this sign probably were erected In
that region and have retained the sigh
unchanged since. We know of inns
under the name of the Rose, which
there can lie little question came into
life as hoStelries in the time OF the
Yorkists and Lancastrians. TIE
Wheat,heaf was the Burleigh badge,
the Elephant that of Beaumont, the
Bulls Head WAS Boleyn cogulZ ince,
the Blue Boar the badge of the De
Veres, Earls OF Oxford; the Green
Dragon of the EIrls OF Pembroke, the
Falcon of the Marquis of Winchester.
1t does not however, follow that the
inns that have these signs date from
the periods wheE, let US say, Anne
Boleyn was Queen, because they beal
the token of the Bulls Head, or from
the reign Of Qneen Elizabeth, when
Burleigh was in power, because of tie
Wheatsheaf, for 1t will take their titles
aud sign from a much more local
origin, the cost or cognlZance OF the
squire who holds the manor. There
was a reason for this; the Inn was
originally the place where the true
landlord. i. e., ths lord of the manor,
received his guests and every traveller
was his guest. In Iceland, at the pre-
ent day, there is but one inn at Reyk-
javik, the capital, and that is kept by
Dane. The traveller in his island goes
to any farm house or parsonage and Is
taken in. Indeed, by law a traveller
cannot be refused hospitality. When
he leaves he either makes a present in
money or something else that will be
valued, but this is a present and not

is much the same.

Japanese Hotel Pcculiarities.

In Japanese hotel the kitchen is al
ways the principal room in the house
and near the entrance. The first thing
that strikes us is the row OF large blue
platters arranged around the wall in a
shelf rack near the ceiling. l have
come to regard these platters as a tes:
OF the prosperity Of the house. If they
are many and large-three feet across
the hotel is fourlshing; if few and
small, the reverse. So the first thought
is, How are the platters?" We are
shown our rooms-up-stairs always. II
possible-and leaving our shoes behind
walk upon the soft mats In our stocking
feet. Immediately servant brings
tea and tray of tiny cups without
saucers; then tobacco and small fire.
box for smoking purposes. Now all
the visitors In the house and all the
neighbors who can crowd in have ar
rived and are in rooms and are examin-
ing us, We think We would like to
wash our hands and faces and then
have something to eat, SO we clap our
hands three times and servant
screams "hi." and soon appears, bow
ing, and asks what we want. We call
for water, which is brought in large
bucket with a wooden handle, and a
fat copper basin, which are from our
ablutions In full view Of the crowd in
the street below US. Little tables,
about as large as a small napkin, are
placed before each on the floor. We
order rice, which is brought in small
tub with bright brass hoops. We ask
for eggs, and they bring thirty for four
persons. We use our knives and forks,
and the visitors look at US and then at
each other, and smile admiringly.

Prominent Figures in the Saddle.

Senator Cameron Is one of the many
Washingtonians who enjoy long horse
back excursions. He always has
fine mount, His daily companion on
these rides during the session of Con-
press is his handsome friend, Senator
Butler, of South Carolina. The two
tall, striking-looking Senators on their
big bang.tailed chargers always make a
sensation when they ride along the
avenues.
Another famous horseman Is Secre-
tary Bayard, who sits most gracefully
in the saddle, and puts his handsome
and spirited iron-gray horse on MS
mettle when he strikes the country
roads.
Secretary William c. Whitney is an
other horseman you want to look ont
for. He is dashing cavalier, and
puts his long tailed sorrel over the road
at tearing gallop.
Secretary Lamar rides an old brown
nag that stands without hitchlng, and
considerably turns out for people
whom Mr.. Lamar doesn't see when
he's in brown study.
The most interesting horseman IN
Washington, however, IS George Ban
croft. the veteran historian. He Is
eiphty.seven years old, but he never
misses an outing in the open air, no
matter what the weather may be. On
rainy days he usually takes a prisK
walk on Pennsylvania avenue, Dus In
good weather his favorite outing Is on
horseback, He rides steady, easy can.
terinp cob, and an attendant rides at
his side. With his long silvery hair
floating from under his silken cap, ana
his semi-mflitary cloak wrapped ABOUT
his slender form, the old historian Is a
striking figure.

Doing Away with Abbreviated
Names.

The proprlety and good taste of doing
away with abbreviated names among
women is fast growing into favor, and
the good, old fashion OF giving the full
name is regarded as The correct and
digniied thing.
Mollie and Matte and Tillie and
Maggie are again Mary, Martha, Ma
tildI and Margaret-stately names, all
ef them, and full Of significance, whereas
their diminutives are silly and meaning
less, and women IRE gradually awaken
ing to the fact that il is far more ele-
CANT to reserve these pet names, if they
be used at all, for the household and to
sign themtelves always in addressing
those outside this little circle with the
full name they received at the baptis.
NAL font. In this respect our anees-
tors showed proper amount of dignity
and it would be- well now il the old
foim of addressing women as Mistress
Ann Page, Mistress Catharine Smith,
ETC., were revived. The present Gus
tom of retaining the maldon name as a
middle name after marriage and the
use of the husbands Christian name by
widows are both sensible. as they iden-
tify the individual with a certain
family.

The Bridal Veil.

1t is supposed fhat the veil was taken
from ancient religious ceremonies. 1t
is also supposed to represent the hair
when left unconfined. The orange
flower is appropriate to brides, from its
delicate, creamy blossoms and leaves.
The custom of wearing orange blossoms
originated in the east, where it is the
harbinger of prosperous married life.
